👗 Project Runway Season 21 Episode 1 Recap: Disney Magic, Diva Moments & A Whole Lotta Shade
Project Runway is back—and baby, she came with new lighting, new network, and new levels of drama. Season 21 kicked off with a two-part premiere and a clear message: this ain’t your mama’s sewing show anymore.
🏰 Disney Took Over the Runway
The first challenge? Designers were split into two fashion houses: Disney Princesses vs. Disney Villains. That’s right—Freeform said “let’s brand it,” and the cast said “let’s werk it.”
Enter: Ethan Mundt (aka Utica Queen from RuPaul’s Drag Race) who gave full villain couture and snatched the first win. His look? Part shadow, part shimmer, all slay. The judges said it was wearable, theatrical, and elevated. We say it was giving evil sorcerer turned fashion icon.
😬 Antonio's Meltdown & The Mentor Blame Game
Now let’s talk mess. Antonio Estrada landed in the bottom and tried to throw his mentor under the bus. Yes, you read that right. When asked about his lackluster princess design, he said it was “because I took my mentor’s advice.”
Cue Nina Garcia’s face crack. Law Roach? He looked like he wanted to jump across the table. And Heidi? She said the look reminded her of a loofah—and not the kind you gift at baby showers.
💔 Caycee’s Quiet Exit
The episode ended with a cliffhanger, but it was confirmed later that Caycee Black was the first to go. Fans were divided. Some thought her look lacked vision, others felt Antonio should’ve packed up his loofah and left.
👠 Let’s Talk Judges
Law Roach is the energy this show needed. Period. His unapologetic, shade-filled critiques shook the designers and gave us all the memes we’ll need this season. At one point, he told Jesus Estrada that he hated the look. Not disliked. Not disappointed. Hated.
Some fans say it's harsh. Others say it’s real. Either way, it’s must-watch TV.
🔮 What’s Next?
- Will Ethan keep the momentum or become a one-win wonder?
- Will Antonio calm down or blow up again?
- Will someone finally check Law Roach mid-critique?
This season is already serving plot twists, big personalities, and bigger egos—and we’re only on episode 1.
So what did you think? Did the right designer win? Is Law Roach too much or just right? Drop your thoughts in the comments—let’s talk runway.
📺 New episodes air Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on Freeform and stream next-day on Hulu and Disney+.
